Finance Controller

Onsite · Bengaluru · CA / CA Inter (with articleship) / MBA Finance · 4–6 years experience

City Greens is a fast-growing AgriTech startup building automation and AI-driven solutions for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). We build, automate, and operate commercial farm setups across India, the UK, and the UAE, and run a produce buy-back program supplying major retail platforms.

As we scale across geographies, we need a finance controller to own our financial control, reporting, and compliance — and give leadership a clear, timely picture of the numbers.

Role overview

We are looking for a finance controller to own the controllership function onsite. This is a control and oversight role, not a day-to-day book-keeping one — the routine accounting runs beneath you, and you own the close, the reporting, the compliance, and the controls on top of it. You will work closely with the founder and leadership, and someone who has done their articleship and worked under practising CAs will be a strong fit.
